Instrument cluster/panel flickers and goes completely dark stay dark/blackout the majority of the time. There is a recall for the year 2014 but only if manufactured between july -august. Ours manufactured in october. This has been an on and off occurrence since maybe 2018 when we took it to the dealer early on it didn’t happen so they couldn’t address it. However it is off more than on and we have seen the recall. The blackout restricts our ability to see and monitor gages.
The power steering went out while driving. I don’t know why. All i know is it’s not safe for that to happen. I guess that why the recall was about. This truck did not get the steering issue fixed. Now it definitely should be taking care of since i’m unable to drive without it. I’ve had shops look at it and they found the recalls
The contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the abs and traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that while driving 20 minutes later, and steering left, the brake and power steering warning lights illuminated, and the steering wheel became extremely stiff and jerked into a straight position. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and inspected. The vehicle was taken to the residence where a hand-held diagnostic machine retrieved dtc code: c-2200. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 245,000.
The steering is hard (like no power steering) when at a slow speed or at start from stop. Steering is not as tight/hard when at a normal speed. The ease of steering changes mid turn.

I bought this dodge truck in 2018 from a certified dodge dealership in california. On march 07th this year around 3pm i was driving on the freeway when experienced an engine stall, had to move the vehicle to the shoulder and almost got hit by a semi-truck. Got the car towed to the nearest dodge dealership where the car was later inspected by a certified service advisor. He stated that the reason for the engine stall was a rod bearing failure. After looking it up on nhtsa's website, i found out that there were 2 open safety recall for this truck which dodge has failed to notify me about and get it fixed. One of the open safety recall is: 664- loss of crankshaft pos. Although a failure in the crankshaft position can usually not directly cause damage to the rod bearing, if there is a failure in the crankshaft position sensor, this can lead to synchronization problems in the engine and if these conditions are severe enough and persist for an extended period, they can eventually lead to engine damage, including damage to the rod bearings. I've contacted dodge directly and they refused to provide any assistance for this matter and closed the case alleging that the truck is past it's warranty and there is nothing they can do about it. The cost of repair is over $33k which i absolutely cannot afford to pay. Insurance company won't cover it either because it was a 'mechanical breakdown'. Upon talking to the california department of consumer affairs, they advised me to contact the nhtsa regarding this matter. Thank you so much in advance, i hope you guys can help me fighting this case.
When coming to a slow stop, the transmission has a clunky shift from 2nd to 1st gear.
The contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 mph, the fuel appeared to be emptying quickly. The contact stated that while walking to the vehicle, the contact observed that the gas tank was hanging out of the truck and extremely close to the ground. The gas tank was tied in place with a tie-down strap and taken back to the contact's residence. The contact stated that the vehicle was stopped frequently to confirm that the gas tank was secured. The contact was concerned that the tank would detach again and cause a fire. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact discovered an unknown extended warranty however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.
Occasionally after driving 15-30 minutes my dash gives me a quick "auto park brake disengaged" notification and my speedometer goes to 0 while i'm driving, then everything goes back to normal. (event happens approximately every 3rd to 5th time i drive the vehicle) an additional event has occurred after driving a while my entire dash and screen will blackout as well. I've researched the internet and found that numerous people have the same issue or similar. I've gone to dealerships and get no help whatsoever, they act like i'm wasting there time and basically ignore me, they said since i can't make the issue happen they can't look at it. I've read the same responses across the internet by other 2018 ram 1500 owners, it's obvious we don't have a voice to this safety concern. Please look into this matter before someone gets hurt. I've owned the truck for approximately 2 months, i bought it from a dealership, the truck is in excellent condition with no major repairs. Definitely an electrical/computer issue.
